The GUNT Settling Velocity Determination Unit is designed to study the settling behavior of solids in fluids, a crucial factor in fluid mechanics and process engineering. It is especially valuable for understanding sedimentation processes in applications like water treatment system design.
Product Features
- Two transparent cylinders for comparative examination of settling velocity
- Allows analysis of the influence of sphere diameter, sphere density, and different fluids
- Guide tubes ensure safe and vertical insertion of spheres into the cylinders
- O-ring markers in each cylinder define the measuring section clearly
- Integrated sluices at the bottom allow easy sphere removal with minimal fluid loss
- Stopwatch included for precise measurement of sedimentation time
- Two areometers with different ranges provided to determine fluid densities
Benefits
- Facilitates direct comparison of settling velocities under varying physical conditions
- Enhances understanding of fluid-solid interactions critical to water treatment design
- Transparent design supports visual observation and accurate analysis
- Simple, hands-on operation makes it ideal for teaching and lab experimentation
